I tried yesterday 6-7 times to turn it on

\015 I tried my vaio vgn cr-363 yesterday 6-7 times to turn it on. The led indicator glows for a second and after that there is no sign that it will turn on. Tried to reinstall the battery and power it on direct supply. But nothing worked.but today it is workingthe same problem occurred 10 days back alsoi got it repaired from service center,they said might be some problem with motherboard connector and repaired. But the problem is very weird,, it is not turning on first day(tried many times) and suddenly on 2nd day, turns on on first press of the power button. Also when it turns on after all this trouble, it shows past time,, like of the yesterday.Please help,, service center executive is advising to replace motherboard,, he says some problem with motherboard connector. But i don't know,, if there is genuinely some problem with motherboard,, it should never turn on.\015

Answers :

Hard to deduce but it could be a issue with the BIOS/CMOS chip too. \015\012Is the Vaio still under warranty ? If no then unfortunately, would need to have it checked again at the service center and follow those guys :(. \015\012\015\012If its showing past time than that indicates (1) the CMOS battery is dead (2) Motherboard circuitry has issues.

Hi

From what you are describing this definetley sounds like the motherboard

I would advise that it be replaced if under guarantee as eventually it will stop working all together

I own a hp pavilion slimline s3100n computer. Yesterday I turned it on and it kept freezing on me, so I did a system recovery and that helped nothing. Now when I turn it on the blue power light comes on indicating there is power going to it but nothing will boot up. Any assistance with this issue would be much appreciated. Also the yellow light that shows whether its loading is not lighting up.

I had a similar problem that when I turn on the power, the blue power light comes on but nothing occurs, even the bios page. For a while it succeeded to boot every several tries but it became necessary to try tens of times before it booted correctly. ...

My laptop (HP pavillion dv6700 series) shut off yesterday and now won't turn on. Nothing comes on when you hit the power button, even when connected to the wall. It worked fine yesterday morning, left it sleeping to charge and then when using it that afternoon it suddenly turned off! Is this the battery?

Yes it may very well be. Your battery may be running out. Try this: drain your battery completely than take it out of your laptop. Now power on your unit and let your computer recognize that the battery is missing. Turn off your unit and put in your ...

As soon as I plug the laptop into a power source, it automatically disconnects from the internet and I cannot get it to reconnect until I have unplugged it again.

My toshiba a60 has been acting up for the last month, and has finally stopped turning on yesterday. Every time I tried to turn the laptop on, the blue power light flicks on for one sencond, and turns off. For the last month, it had been doing this, but after about 5 or 6 tries, it would finally turn on. NOW it simply doesn't turn on anymore? help???

Remove the battery altogether and plug directly into the wall socket. If this still does not work, it means that either the power supply (inside the laptop) is faulty, or the power circuitry is screwed up inside due to a short circuit. It could also ...
